This documentary from Vancouver BC-born director Yu Gu must not be missed. Here we have capitalism in its essence, which is the exploitation of those who are perceived as powerless by the owners of capital. If you have a little power, capitalism will have to reward you. If you do not, it will tear you to pieces. In A Woman’s Work: The NFL’s Cheerleader Problem, the powerless parties are cheerleaders for the NFL. They are in the middle of a billion-dollar industry but are paid less than peanuts. What we learn in this doc is that the wages of mascots and concession workers are often higher than cheerleaders. This is not to say that mascots or concession workers should be paid less, but that, holy shit, what are cheerleaders being paid? A contract examined in the documentary gives us some idea: $12,050! And the cheerleaders only get paid once a year! Capitalism! Damn! by Charles Mudede
